Lately, my husband seems uninterested in me, and it’s been really hard on my self-esteem. I can’t help but feel like I’m not good enough for him, and I’m not sure what to do about it. It started subtly—a missed goodbye kiss in the morning, fewer texts throughout the day, and evenings spent in silence, each of us lost in our own worlds. At first, I told myself it was just stress from work or the exhaustion of our daily routines. But as the days turned into weeks, the distance between us grew, and so did my doubts.
I find myself replaying conversations, wondering if I said something wrong or if I’ve changed in some way that makes me less appealing to him. The more I try to get his attention—cooking his favorite meals, dressing up, or suggesting date nights—the more invisible I feel. It’s as if he’s looking through me, not at me.
The hardest part is the silence. I want to ask him what’s wrong, but I’m afraid of the answer. What if he says he’s fallen out of love? What if he confirms my deepest fear—that I’m not enough?
I know I can’t keep living like this, caught between hope and heartache. Maybe it’s time to gather the courage to have that difficult conversation, to ask him what’s on his mind and share how I’ve been feeling. But until then, I’m left wondering if the love we once had is slipping away, and if there’s anything I can do to bring us back together.
